Hi, I'm on PC.

  1. My game launches, but cannot load a save. Attempting to load a save does not open up a Sim's lot. It either opens their neighborhood or the neighborhood selection menu. Or, game endlessly loads until I ctrl-alt-delete.
  2. I can see the lots and the sims, but can't open them. Can't load gallery or vanilla lots, with or without mods.
  3. Seems to happen with all saves, including new ones.
  4. I do use mods. I tried removing them and repairing the game, but the problem persisted.
  5. I have not uninstalled and reinstalled.
